Why is amanda dumping the following directory at level 1 when the estimate
returns 0K?

setting up estimates for millennium:/shows/vsky/mn/mn065
setup_estimate: millennium:/shows/vsky/mn/mn065: command 0, options:
    last_level 0 next_level0 6 level_days 0
    getting estimates 0 (20) 1 (0) -1 (-1)

got result for host millennium disk /shows/vsky/mn/mn065: 0 -> 20K, 1 -> 0K, -1
-> -1K

pondering millennium:/shows/vsky/mn/mn065... next_level0 6 last_level 0 (not due
for a full dump, picking an incr level)
   picklev: last night 0, so tonight level 1
  curr level 1 size 0 total size 180917330 total_lev0 67193330 balanced-lev0size
52566208

millennium /shows/vsky/mn/mn065 pri 1 lev 1 size 0

millennium /shows/vsky/mn/mn065 1 1 2001:8:28:9:33:46 0 0

Is there anyway to configure amanda to avoid zero size dumps?  On our tape
drive it takes about 45 seconds to dump a zero size disk.  We have about
316 of these empty filesystems giving about 4 hours of empty backups.
